One of Lee's more modest but admirable pieces.

Crooklyn is not in any way an angry film. But thinking about the difference between its world and ours can make you angry, and I think that was one of Lee's purposes here.

This remarkable movie will haunt you for a good long time.

Loosely based on Spike Lee's growing up in Brooklyn in the 1970s, the casual, warm, apolitical (for Lee) script took a life of its own during the development process.

A sub-par vision of Brooklyn with some bright spots

It's not Lee's most challenging work, but it's certainly amongst his most charming.

The key problem is that the film is simply a ragged series of anecdotal sketches.

An affectionate look at youthful adventures.

It's the first Spike Lee film with the potential to be turned into a television show. More important, it's the first one to display real warmth of heart.

Lee is as talented as any director is capturing an era, and some of the early scenes perfectly recall the mood of the time. The pop soundtrack may be a little too obvious, but it gets the job done.

Lee is a great self-promoter. After all his press releases and all his interviews, we are given films that are sketchy, unfelt and distancing -- incidents in Lee's career, the only drama that really interests him.

While Lee fails to impose sufficient structure on his material, expertly drawn performances help vividly to evoke the family and street life of an era untroubled by crack or drive-by shootings.
